Thursday October 17, 2019

Good evening everyone!


PA Day - Reminder that Monday is a PA Day.

Spirit Day - Is tomorrow.  Spirit points will be counted for students who wear their house team colours.

Social Studies - Please complete the chapter 3 questions.  Make sure you add lots of details from the text, combined with your own ideas, to answer the questions.  (Due Thursday October 24th)

Assessments signed - Please have the tests and assignments that were returned signed by your parents and returned.  These will go in your portfolios which we will eventually create.  (Due)

Art - Goals and Dreams assignment due October 29th.  Please remember to bring materials from home if you need them.  (Due October 30th).

Literacy - Please go through all the completed pages and identify any areas that you find confusing or challenging.  Please make sure you come see me for extra help.  You will be assessed on these grammar rules/principles in the near future.  (Due).

Literacy - Since we have been learning about attitude, I would like to encourage each of you to begin looking for resources which teach about attitude.  What I am really hoping for is that we can find resources which reflect different cultures.  Therefore, if you have a book, video, article or anything else that reflects your culture and teaches about topics that have to do with attitude, I would be so very grateful if you would bring it to class.  When I say culture, this is very open ended.  It could be texts that reflect your faith, a different country, or even a different way of thinking.  You can bring the text to school, or make a photocopy, take some pictures or even send me an internet link.  Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions.

Literacy - I would like to encourage everyone to make sure that they are constantly adding to their tracking pages for reading comprehension strategies.  You have had a lot of time to do this in class, so you should by now have a lot of examples of how you have used each of the reading comprehension strategies.  Remember to look at the posters in our room to help you.  Please remember that I will be collecting these to mark them, but I am trying to give you lots of time to add to your tracking.

Arts Package - These have been placed on School Cash Online.  Thank you to those who have already registered.  If you have any questions, please let me know :)

Below are some links to texts which promote mindsets that we are seeking to develop in our  class this year in order to enhance our learning experiences.  Each text is a teacher writing to their student in an effort to provide encouragement.  I hope you enjoy them.  Please let me know what you think :)  

I encourage you to share and discuss these with your parents.  In order to view them, I believe you will need to be logged into your Google Apps account.

1.  Adding to your bank account
2.  To the student who just got an answer wrong in class
3.  To accomplish, you must first become
4.  School improves your passions
5.  The way school improves your passions
6.  Are you committed to your success?  Prove it, and you'll be glad you did!












Have a great evening,


Mr. Carr
